Click & drag on Label

General JUCE discussion

Hello guys. I know this post is an old one but thinking it might be helpful to someone, I share my solution (which is an optimization of what @JimmyFF suggested).
I preferred to incorporate the mechanism in a customLabel class:

    void mouseDrag(const MouseEvent& e) override
        
        {
            double changeVal = 0.0;
            float sensitivity = 1.f;
            
            int newMouseDown;
            if (e.getMouseDownY()==mMouseDownPosY)
            {
                newMouseDown = mMouseCurrentPosY;
                mMouseCurrentPosY = e.getPosition().getY();
            }
            else
            {
                newMouseDown = e.getMouseDownY();
                mMouseCurrentPosY = e.getPosition().getY();
            }
            
            if(newMouseDown-mMouseCurrentPosY > 0) changeVal = + sensitivity; //up
            
            if(newMouseDown-mMouseCurrentPosY < 0) changeVal = - sensitivity; //down
            mDoubleValue += changeVal;
            
            
            ParamValues oscVal;
            mFloatValue = clipValue(mDoubleValue, minValue, maxValue);
            setText(floatToStr(mFloatValue), sendNotification);
            mMouseDownPosY = e.getMouseDownY();
        }

I don’t know how naive my code might look to the more expert developers; if you have suggestions on how to improve it, I’d be very happy to read. I’m new to programming.
